Oceanly, a leading provider of digital solutions for the maritime industry, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with BW LPG, the world’s leading owner and operator of LPG carriers, aimed at enhancing fleet performance through advanced vessel reporting and performance monitoring. This collaboration marks a significant shift towards improving data quality, particularly in noon reporting processes, to increase fleet efficiency and operational accuracy.

The project, initiated in December 2024, saw the implementation of Oceanly’s Performance Base and Performance Lite systems across BW LPG’s fleet, successfully completing this rollout by the first quarter of 2025. The Performance Lite system, tailored for chartered vessels, provides a streamlined reporting solution that operates without onboard installations, making it an excellent option for vessels under time-charter agreements. Meanwhile, the Performance Base system, which has been installed across BW LPG’s owned fleet, provides a robust suite of tools essential for comprehensive fleet monitoring and reporting.

With the Performance Base system, crew members gain access to detailed analytics and receive timely operational alerts from all connected workstations onboard, significantly improving workflow efficiency. The Performance Lite system, designed for rapid deployment, can be operational within just 30 minutes via a web browser, catering to time-chartered vessels seeking minimal investment in permanent infrastructure.

In response to a specific request from BW LPG, Oceanly has also developed a customised Parcel Management module to optimise bunker operations management. This module plays a pivotal role in the effective management of fuel consumption and remaining onboard (ROB), critical for improving fuel economy and operational cost-efficiency.

Virginia Aste, Oceanly’s Project Manager, shared her experience working with the BW LPG team, noting, “The collaboration has been exceptionally smooth and professional. Their focus on enhancing data precision has been a key driver in tailoring our technology to meet their specific needs.”

Ingela Mandl, Sales Director at Oceanly, commented on the partnership, stating, “Supporting BW LPG with our Performance Base and Lite systems is a privilege. This initiative not only underscores the trust that industry leaders have in our technology but also emphasises our commitment to advancing maritime operations through enhanced data collection and quality.”

Prodyut Banerjee, Vice President and Head of Operations at BW LPG, shares, “Implementing Oceanly’s tools has clearly improved data quality and operational accuracy while reducing the susceptibility to errors. The system is user-friendly, the transition has been smooth, and feedback from our crew is very positive.”

Kevin Knott, Senior Manager, Fleet Performance at BW LPG, adds, “Without doubt the amount of onboard form validation, whether it’s the auto-calculated fields or data field allowable parameters is starting to show a large reduction in re-work, both ashore and afloat. As familiarity with the system grows, I would only expect this to reduce further. In particular, the bunker parcel ID’s, fuel ROB’s, and consumptions are much improved as compared to pre-Oceanly VRT.”

A key aspect of this partnership is the integration with DNV Veracity, which significantly enhances data validation and operational integrity. This integration ensures the highest standards of data accuracy and reliability, reinforcing best practices in maritime data management.
